The Title on the Cross

19 Pilate had a notice
prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE
JEWS.

20 Many of the Jews read this sign,
for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was
written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.

21 The chief priests of the Jews
protested to Pilate, "Do not write 'The King of the Jews,' but that this man
claimed to be king of the Jews."

22 Pilate answered, "What I have
written, I have written."John 19:19-22
